En el video número 109 de su canal, Federico Madeo presenta una entrevista en profundidad con el GM argentino Hugo Spangenberg, una de las figuras más destacadas del ajedrez rioplatense. A lo largo del encuentro, Spangenberg repasa su trayectoria desde sus inicios hasta consolidarse como campeón argentino a los 18 años —rompiendo el récord de precocidad impuesto por Oscar Panno en 1953— y alcanzando el título de Gran Maestro a los 20. El diálogo permite reconstruir una época rica del ajedrez argentino, atravesada por nombres emblemáticos como Najdorf, Panno, Karpov, Kasparov, Topalov, Cámpara, Quinteros, Tempone, Zarnicki y Oro.
Durante la charla, el GM rememora sus participaciones olímpicas representando a la Argentina en Moscú 1994, Ereván 1996 y Elistá 1998, y comparte anécdotas sobre su regreso de Cuba para disputar —y ganar— el Selectivo Najdorf de 1993, con un destacado 9 en 11. Spangenberg relata también el camino hacia su título de Gran Maestro, alcanzado gracias a sus normas en los torneos Magistral Najdorf 1995 y 1996, y en Villa Gesell 1996.
Más allá del tablero, la entrevista se adentra en otras facetas de su vida: su incursión en el backgammon y su relación con el póker, juegos que —según él— comparten con el ajedrez una misma esencia estratégica y mental. Spangenberg aprovecha el espacio para aclarar su inocencia en una causa judicial que considera injusta y expresa su deseo de volver a competir en una final del Campeonato Argentino, torneo que lo vio consagrarse hace más de tres décadas.

The Nimzo-Indian has stood the test of time for over a century: Still a top choice for elite players today, from Magnus Carlsen to Praggnanandhaa, it remains one of Black's most reliable ways to fight for real chances against 1.d4 2.c4 3.Nc3.
1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Bb4!? is an opening idea well worth considering. Black immediately threatens to double the pawns on c3 in the style of the Trompowski or Sicilian Grand Prix attack.
